Program Summary
Restorative Dentistry is a branch of dental education focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating oral diseases and defects to restore function and aesthetics. The course covers various aspects of restoring damaged, decayed, or missing teeth using materials like dental fillings, crowns, bridges, veneers, and implants. It integrates knowledge of dental anatomy, biomaterials, and clinical techniques to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of treatments.
Students learn about cavity preparation, adhesive dentistry, occlusion, and prosthodontic rehabilitation, gaining hands-on experience through preclinical and clinical training. The curriculum also includes the latest advancements in digital dentistry, CAD/CAM technology, and minimally invasive techniques. Understanding patient management, ethics, and interdisciplinary collaboration is essential, as restorative dentistry often overlaps with periodontics, endodontics, and prosthodontics.
The course emphasizes both functional and aesthetic restoration, helping patients regain confidence in their smiles while ensuring proper oral health. Critical thinking, problem-solving, and precision are essential skills, as each case requires a tailored approach. By the end of the course, students are equipped to diagnose and treat various dental conditions, providing high-quality restorative care in clinical practice.
